<p>I got into UC Riverside with an Econ major and I am pretty sure that I will change it to Econ/Administrative studies because I feel like that is more business orientated than just regular econ. I am also planning to go to grad school to get a MBA.</p>

<p>My dilemma is that I am not entirely sure how I should split my classes in each quarter. So I was wondering if there you guys could direct me in what classes I should take at least during the first fall quarter.</p>

<p>Are you a transfer student or a first year?</p>

<p>I am a incoming freshman.</p>

<p>you have to do both because that major is within chass.</p>

<p>Thank you, but I must’ve not clearly asked what my question was. I know that I have to take these classes but I don’t know how I should select my classes. I cannot seem to word it the way I like it, so I’ll just be straight forward. What classes should I take first quarter, second quarter, etc.</p>

<p>I don’t think it really matters what classes you take each quarter…as long as you’re not wasting units on classes you don’t need. Just make sure to check out the requirements for your major and for CHASS. Don’t worry too much about selecting classes for now! They’ll guide you through the whole process of choosing your classes at orientation.</p>

<p>And just remember that it’s nearly impossible to plan out your classes for each quarter beforehand. Classes fill up FAST and you’re likely to not get the classes you want, especially as a freshman.</p>

<p>oh yeah sorry. pretty much what xinxija said. </p>

<p>if you really have no idea where to start, im a prebusiness major and first quarter i took bus010, math022, engl001a, and hnpg009.</p>

<p>id suggest taking whatever math and english class you can get into, because english is hard to get into and personally, i just like getting math out of the way.</p>

<p>after that, here are the classes off the first document i posted that don’t have prereqs. and my opinion on them
econ002 - never went to lecture and still got an A. it’s easy to get a good grade, but it is a class that you will worry about throughout the quarter if you don’t try like meh aha.
econ003* - heard its easier than econ002
bus10 - ridiculously easy
bus20* - not sure
cs008 - never went to lecture and still got an A-</p>

<p>classes with an * next to them are classes that i havent actually taken yet.</p>

<p>i would pick from those classes because they knock out requirements for both your major and for chass, and i like doing those first because it feels better knocking out multiple requirements haha. but you could go off the chass sheet and take a bunch oof other classes. if you do that, it’s a lot harder for me to give you advice because there are so many different classes you could choose from.</p>

<p>Always check for the professor before you sign up for a class.</p>

<p>Econ 2/3 had easier professors this year than last year. )': BUT, I was really lucky to have good professors for Econ 102/103 this year ^^</p>

<p>If I’m correct, there are classes that are reserved for freshmen only… so be sure to sign up for the earliest orientation date.</p>

<p>Also, if I were you, I would consider being a Business Administration major with a concentration in like… financial economics. It kind of sounds like what you are trying to do? I think people do administrative studies if they get rejected from the business program (not sure though). OR, be a business major and minor in Econ?</p>

<p>As a freshmen, I was able to plan out my classes. Yeah, you have last priority… but you’re going to be taking intro classes and what not. You will most likely be fighting for a spot with other freshmen or sophomores (as opposed to juniors and seniors). For example, if you’re trying to sign up for Eng1A, I highly doubt juniors and seniors will be taking your spots. Of course, it depends on the class that you’re trying to take.</p>

<p>Note: Be sure to take your first two years in college very seriously. Keep your GPA up. It gets harder and harder to raise your GPA as you become 3rd/4th years because the difficulty of classes get harder and harder as well.</p>
